Mike:

I can't speak for the Catholic Churches in Northumberland County,
but in general, they are very difficult to get information from.
They don't let their records get published (to prevent illegitimate
children from showing up I hear - though in the 1800's, I wonder why
anyone would care). If you send a "contribution" with a specific
request to a specific church, you may have some luck though. If they
stopped in at some other local church to have their kids baptized,
you may be luckier...
